Time Person of the Year 2017: The Silence Breakers

The problem is women can't see themselves for various reasons to involve the police. Unless society changes to make that possible, rich/self employed people/politicians will get away with it. Others will get fired.

Really...? If someone sexually assaults you you aren't developed enough to realize a crime was committed and you need to go to the police? Also, this problem doesn't only just affect women.

Justifiably so, given the immense professional risk in publically outing the harasser. (e.g. Weinstein’s attempts to dig up dirt on the accusers)

I did not want to imply it was unjustified.

Then, maybe, the problem lies elsewhere.
